The fastest computer in the world is expected to be released in 2023. The new model will be based on the design of the Apple MacBook Pro and will be able to run applications in a flash. It will also come with an optical storage system that will allow it to store data on any type of surface. In addition, it is also expected to be able to handle games with an increased resolution.
El Capitan
A new supercomputer called El Capitan will be the fastest machine ever built when it is deployed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 2023. It will be used for modeling nuclear weapon simulations, assessing threats to national security, and analyzing aging stockpiles.
The National Nuclear Security Administration will use the El Capitan system to model the aging nuclear stockpile and assess nuclear weapons risks. El Capitan will also be used to simulate the effects of climate change on the Earth’s climate. The simulations will take billions of seconds.
HPE and AMD are developing the El Capitan system with the goal of being the world’s fastest supercomputer when it is turned on in 2023. It will be the third exascale-class supercomputer in the Department of Energy’s lineup, after the Summit machines at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Aurora at Argonne National Laboratory.
The El Capitan supercomputer will be hosted at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, where it will be powered by two Delta Star power transformers. The supercomputer’s total power draw will be around 40 megawatts, a jump from the 30 megawatts that is used by the existing Sierra machine.
The supercomputer will use AMD’s latest processors and graphics processors, boosting performance and lowering energy usage. According to AMD, it is expected that the new system will be 30% faster than the previous design.
Frontier
A new supercomputer built by the United States Department of Energy, known as the Frontier computer, has achieved the exascale threshold. It is the first to break through this barrier. It is the world’s fastest supercomputer. It is designed to be used for science and research. It is also designed to help with the transition to cleaner sources of energy. It will enable scientists to make more realistic climate models. It will also be used for mapping the brain and nanoscience materials.
The system features 9,408 HPE Cray EX nodes with AMD Trento 7A53 Epyc CPUs and AMD Instinct MI250X GPUs. It also includes 716 petabytes of center-wide storage. It has a liquid cooling system, which promotes a more quiet data center. It is on track to become fully operational by January 1, 2023.
The system was designed to do over one quintillion calculations per second. It has a theoretical peak performance of two exaFLOPS. It has been tested in the High-Performance Linpack Benchmark test, which measures a supercomputer’s speed in mixed-precision applications.
The system will be installed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. It is designed to be able to perform both artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) based data analysis.
The Frontier system was built by the US Department of Energy and Cray Inc. It is a collaborative project between the two companies. It will undergo testing and validation before being put into full scientific use.
Gyoukou
Gyoukou is a supercomputer from Japan. It has the fourth-fastest computing power on the planet. However, it was not the fastest in 2017 and its ranking declined by several places.
The system uses a brick of 32 PEZY-SC2 modules that are connected by hierarchical PCI Express fabric switches. This means it can perform almost a billion calculations per second.
It also features a new generation of Tofu network that facilitates tight integration across system nodes. The new network is capable of delivering bandwidths of up to 2.1 TB/s. It was built for the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology.
It is also the first system to use ARM processors. This was achieved by integrating hybrid memory cubes with each CPU. It is also the most energy-efficient supercomputer of its size. It uses Fluorinert Electronic liquid to cool the system.
It is a system from a company called ExaScaler. The system has been on the list for over a decade and was a contender for the world’s fastest supercomputer.
In 2017, it was upgraded to use custom-built Matrix-2000 accelerators, resulting in an increase in performance of about 4 percent. The upgrade was designed to boost the HPL speed from 33.9 petaflops to 61.4 petaflops.
The upgrade was also meant to improve the system’s power efficiency. The system now consumes less than four percent more power than the previous version.
Oceanlite
The United States may be on top of the supercomputer game, but China and Japan have some serious competition. These two countries have two systems that have already broken the exascale barrier.
The Sunway Taihulight system is still in the top five, but the Chinese have a number of secret machines that are a lot faster than it. These are reportedly capable of a 1.3 exaflops.
This is a huge number, but it is still a small fraction of the performance of the world’s fastest supercomputers. For example, the LUMI system from Finland is capable of 151.9 petaflops. This is the largest number of PFLOPS ever recorded in the history of computing.
The Oceanlite system from China is a step forward in high-performance computing. It is a successor to the Sunway Taihulight machine. However, the Chinese have not made any official performance claims, and have not submitted test results to the scientists who are in charge of the Top500 ranking.
Despite these limitations, the Oceanlite system is said to have achieved a 1.3 exaFLOPS peak performance. It uses a combination of homegrown and commercial technologies to achieve this level of efficiency. The machine also simulated a 53-qubit Sycamore circuit in just 304 seconds. This is the first time a commercial machine has exhibited this capability.
In order to be considered a true exascale supercomputer, the machine must be able to calculate at least 1018 FLOPS. Considering that every person on earth would need four years to do this, it is difficult to gauge the real-world benefits.
Leonardo
If you are looking for a supercomputer with advanced AI capabilities, the Leonardo supercomputer may be your answer. In fact, it will be the fourth fastest computer in the world by the time it is completed. It will be used to accelerate the development of Artificial Intelligence, allowing for more accurate weather forecasts and technological innovation.
According to Cineca, the Italian inter-university consortium behind the system, Leonardo is a “significant step forward” in computational sciences. EuroHPC, a joint undertaking between the European Union and the national governments of European countries, funds the project. It is also a part of a cross-European effort to boost technological development in European member states.
The Leonardo installation is designed to benefit scientists in Europe, while helping public administrations and citizens in a variety of fields. Among the fields that will be helped by the system are climate change, genomics, personalised medicine, and cybersecurity. Its early access program will be open to researchers from any sector, including academia, industry, and government. The new supercomputer will have computing power of more than 250 petaflops when it is fully operational in 2023.
A key feature of the system is its water cooling system, which improves energy efficiency. When complete, Leonardo will have more than 100 petabytes of storage capacity. This will allow for high throughput and low power consumption.
Leonardo is built using an Atos-designed modular supercomputing architecture. The system will include a data centric module that will deliver nine Linpack petaflops, and a booster module that adds up to 240 Linpack petaflops.
